Janah – World That Surrounds You – Review

June 14, 2002

Comparisons to U2 are obvious because of the tone of his voice, as are references to Peter Gabriel and Enya, cuz who else can you namedrop who people’ll know?

Neil Diamond – The Essential Neil Diamond – Review

June 14, 2002

C’mon, you know you know this stuff… When no one’s looking or listening, admit you love Neil Diamond.

Pro-Pain – Shreds of Dignity – Review

June 14, 2002

Pro-Pain has been slogging along for over a decade, sometimes brushing greatness, but more often than not, not even in the same area code.

Mike Felumlee – 64 Hours – Review

May 31, 2002

Mike Felumlee was the drummer of Smoking Popes and Alkaline Trio. This is his solo album. He wrote it all (‘cept a cover) and performed it all (‘cept guests).

Alien Crime Syndicate – XL From Coast to Coast – Review

May 31, 2002

The bio calls this loop-laden space pop with strong harmonies and crunchy guitars, but I’d chew through my own arm if shackled in a room with this on repeat.

Great White – Recover – Review

May 17, 2002

Covers. This record is all covers. Great White has always been a cover band. Their main hit, “Once Bitten, Twice Shy,” was a cover, though they did it well.

Karp – Action Chemistry – Review

May 17, 2002

A rarities collection from this noisy Northwest band that broke up in ’98. A Black Flag cover, lots of feedback, screaming, and pummeling drums.

Ebb-N-Flow – Airplay – Review

May 17, 2002

Three guys from Milwaukee, WI who’ve been compared to Travis and Coldplay. That oughtta peak some interest…

Tidfall – Instinct Gate – Review

May 17, 2002

Every genre needs opening bands, and Tidfall fit the black metal opening slot nicely.

Laura Dawn – Believer – Review

May 17, 2002

Laura Dawn was the hot singer in the all-girl NYC punkish rock band Fluffer. Believer is adult contemporary contemptuousness.
